mediclaim rejected

What to do if your claim from mediclaim policy is rejected?

by Holistic 1 Comment | Filed Under: Mediclaim

Most of the times, amidst having taken a health insurance policies from reputed companies, we end up paying from our pockets. Ignorance is the major cause for us to put ourselves in this situation. Well, you have a mediclaim policy, spent majorly on an illness but your claim is rejected.

I know how frustrated it would have been for you. Ok, what can be done in this situation? Is there a way to get your claim accepted and you get your spending reimbursed from your mediclaim policy?

Read on…

Reasons for rejection of mediclaim

1. Understand the reason for your claim rejection

The ailments that are covered in the policy

Remember, you take an mediclaim Insurance Policy as a backup for your medical expenditure. Please be clear about the day care procedures, OPD covers, hospitalization, diagnostic procedures and difference between classifications. Make sure that you understand what all ailments are covered in your policy and in which category these are grouped.

Read the rejection letter carefully

Don’t be baffled if your mediclaim insurance claim is rejected. Read the rejection letter carefully and understand the reasons quoted for rejecting the claim. The reasons can vary e.g. ailment not covered, hospital is not a network hospital / coverage terminated, prior authorization requirements, incomplete documentation etc. Understand the reason why your claim is rejected.

 
If you are not convinced with the reason stated or with the claim rejection, contact your financial advisor for better understanding.

2. Is your claim form appropriately filled?

Understand what is important in the claim form

Claim applications are to be filled carefully to avoid common mistakes. Even simple spelling mistakes / wrong dates / wrong mediclaim policy number mentioned can lead to rejection. All mediclaim documentation should contain clear information regarding the medical procedure done / scheduled, details of the insured, details of hospital / doctor etc.

Check for key information and possible mistakes

The claim form should be fully and properly filled. Make sure that the form has all correct information like Name of the Insured and policy holder, Address, Policy Number, Nature of illness / disease / Injury, Details of Hospital / Nursing home, details of the attending doctor, details of hospitalization..

3. Have you submitted all the supporting documents?

Check your checklist for discrepancies in the supporting documents

If your mediclaim is rejected on account of insufficient / incorrect documentation kindly go through the following checklist and ensure that you comply:

  • All original investigation reports, test reports
  • All Prescriptions & Receipts
  • Admission Form
  • Discharge Summary
  • Details of diagnostic tests
  • Medical card details of the patient / policy holder
  • Age proof
  • Identity Proof
  • Claim Form
  • Any other document as required by your policy / Insurance Company

Make sure you submit all relevant documents and photocopies of important documents. Arrange the documents in chronological order. Remember to file the claim within prescribed time.

Find a way to submit the pending documents

If you have missed to submit any required document, contact your agent to find out the procedure to submit pending document.

4. Things to do if your ailment deemed is considered medically unnecessary

Sometimes insurance companies claim that the tests/procedures performed are medically unnecessary. Again, key here is to understand your policy thoroughly as to what is covered and what is not covered. Do not claim costs which are not covered in the policy.

Gather medical proof

Gather sufficient medical proof to prove that the ailment is covered, there is no wrong classification and medical practitioner’s opinion and investigations that prove that the treatment administered was medically necessary.

What to do if the response from insurance company is not satisfactory?

Even after filing an appeal you do not get any satisfactory response, you can file a written complaint with Health Insurance Ombudsman within 30 days from the response by the Insurer alongwith all necessary documents.

How can one avoid the situation of claim rejection?

To avoid landing in situations of claim rejection / follow-ups / appeal / complaint, follow the steps given below.

  • Understand your mediclaim policy – Compare different mediclaim policies before zeroing on one, go through and be clear about all terms & conditions
  • Coverage of the mediclaim policy – Understand what all ailments & procedures are covered in your mediclaim policy, which all hospitals & regions are in the network, with which doctors Insurance Company has tie-ups
  • Documentation – All prescriptions and payment receipts for bills & consultation fees, investigation reports, properly filled claim forms
  • Declarations – All existing illness and diseases should be disclosed so as to avoid further complications

The common belief that “Insurance Company aims to reject all claims” is not true. We need to take care of some points and once you understand, you will not be baffled by a huge hospital bill in spite of taking an insurance policy.

Be clear about your mediclaim policy, disclose all facts, claim rejection reasons, proper and adequate documentation, and steps to follow if your claim is rejected.

I have been using Holistic Investment Planners for the last three years. Mr. Srinivasavaradhan answered all my questions and doubts very patiently during the first free consultation. I was able to clearly define my short-, medium- and long-term goals once I signed up for the comprehensive plan and got their investment plan suggestion to achieve my goals. They are very polite and highly professional whenever I contact them for any queries or make investments. They never pressurize you to invest on their recommended financial products. I would have been lost money by investing directly without their help since I do not have time and knowledge about different financial products. Risk planning is also done as part of financial planning. Truly, they are holistic planners when it comes to your financial planning. They help you to define your life goals, understand your financial resources and establish a plan to invest towards reaching those goals. They do review your plan as you progress to make sure that you are on correct path to achieve those goals. Kudos to the team and keep up the good work!!! I am happy that I found holistic investment planners for my financial planning and management.

I was about to retire and really not understanding how to invest money to have financial freedom and fulfilling my goals. Was desperately searching on internet way out and fortunately came across Holistic Investment Planners. I read number of articles on their website and realized that this is the agency which I want and engaged their services for my retirement planning. It is an excellent experience to be associated with Holistic. Right from day one our interaction was fantastic and they gave me such a wonderful plan that I had never imagined. I am fortunate enough to be in the client list of Holistic. I have recommended Holistic to my friends as well.

I have been using Holistic Investment Planners from last one year. The journey has been fantastic. Being a finance person myself I always thought we can look after and plan own finances also. However, due to lack of time and deciplain the things are not always as desired. After joining with Holistic Investment for the first time Icame to know the Financial goals and quantified them. Some dreams were unrealistic based on the earnings and savings so had a reality check. Also got the information and deciplain of investing on regular and more rewarding securities. I definetly suggest to use Holistic Investment Planners. They are professionals, available and hear youor full story before presenting plans. They are flexile in the sense if there are some urgent deviations required, they help to plan the same. For all professionals/individuals I would suggest using professional help of Holistic Investment Planners for best results in long term investment and financial goals achivements. Last advise will be to start early in your life. It really pays well to start in the beginning itself else the dreams needs to adjust :)

I came to know about Holistic Investment Planners online while searching for different investment ideas. Once I contacted them the journey was very smooth. Mr. Ramalingam explained all the aspects of Financial planning in detail and it opened my mind. I realized how important it is to have a Financial planning. Mr. Rajan suggested all the requirements as per my goals and made a Investment plan keeping in mind of my goals. I started my Investment journey with them. I wish I had done it some years back then it would have been in a different level. Review meetings were held every six month to check the implementation of the plan and check the results as per the requirements and to check if any changes required. Overall it was a good experience with Holistic Investment team and would like to continue in the years to come.

I came across Holistic investment planners almost 5-6 years back, but I did not have the trust since I had met a few of them who did not sound promising. Then I started investing through a financial advisor of my friend. After 4 years of investing the returns were very low. I was disappointed and started looking for financial advisors when I came across Holistic investment. I had a detailed discussion about my goals and the way they would approach achieving my goal before deciding to switch my investments to them. After a thorough analysis of my then existing portfolios, they suggested new ones and we zeroed-in on 6 schemes/funds where our investment would be split. I am glad I made the decision of switching over and taking Holistic planner's advise, my returns are handsome and I only wish I could have taken their help/advise 5 years back itself. Neverthless, I would like to recommend their services for investment and financial advise if someone is serious about their investments.
